not likely for that new Escalade you know you can't afford. After 5-7 years, the average new car has depreciated past any point of reasonable upsidedown-ness v the principal paid on a 15 year loan. No lender is going to do that, unless you're going to leverage some other collateral. At which point, you're talking about a HELOC on your home most likely.

I'll take my Boss in Candyapple Red, please.
